Abstract
Inclining: Aging with Energy is a fun house of reimagining: connecting people with best practices for healthy aging in fun and unexpected ways, and engaging embodiment with humor and possibility. Getting old is also getting new. The challenges of embodiment are always and ever. What if we reimagine aging as a skill? What if we reimagine our visions of aging? What if we (re)encounter having fun in the body — what that might have been, what that could be? Why not grow into the playground, instead of out of it? Is our construct of aging fundamentally based on the flawed philosophy of the compartmentalized, disembodied concept of mind? Let's explore!
